Tornadobrain

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-03

Overview​

Tornadobrain is a brain component responsible for controlling the movement behavior of a tornado entity. It uses a behavior tree with a priority node to select between two primary actions: leashing toward a known target location (via knownlocations:GetLocation("target")) or wandering in the vicinity of that target. The brain inherits from Brain and is constructed using standard DST ECS conventions (Class(Brain, ...)).

The component relies exclusively on the knownlocations component to resolve the "target" location and the behaviours/leash and behaviours/wander modules to execute movement logic.

Usage example​

local inst = CreateEntity()
inst:AddComponent("knownlocations")  -- required for location resolution
inst:AddComponent("tornadobrain")
-- The brain will automatically initialize on OnStart (typically called by SG or SG logic)
